Details about The Making of the Monroe Doctrine:

The author makes good his justification for a new book. It is not simply that he has done a thorough job of research, ranging beyond the scope of his predecessors, or that he presents his findings in a prose that is a pleasure to read. He approaches the subject by asking himself what issues would have impressed well-informed contemporaries as determining policy decisions in 1823...An interesting and convincing approach to the Monroe Doctrine. -- Lawrence S. Kaplan "American Historical Review"
